That is why it is deferring the operation. A quick google on that
shows some tuning of idle timeouts and possibly ulimit might be
helpful. I would recommend that you start tracking connections and
file descriptors to get a feel of conditions surrounding your
"freeze".

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with my openldap server.
It freezes sometimes (and no longer respond to other requests) with this
message on the log file :
*Jul 4 13:50:03 annuaire slapd[19523]: connection_input: conn=7554
deferring operation: binding
*
I couldn't find anything on the archives about this problem. I tried to
reindex the database, open acl search for anonymous and turn off all
logs but it doesn't completely solve my problem (the freezes happens
less times a day but my server still doesn't talk back sometimes)*.
